QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
WARNING: Ensure that your towing vehicle is of adequate size to properly control
your towed vehicle. The weight and braking capacity should be large enough to handle
both vehicles in an emergency situation. Check your towing vehicle manufacturers
recommendations for towing, hitch load, and braking capacities. The hitch, ball,
motorhome chassis, and safety cables (each individual cable) need to be rated at a
minimum for the weight of the vehicle being towed.
